If you're innocent when you dream, are you guilty when they come true: Rego shots chosen for Tom Waits album

This just in from longtime CP photog/recent Los Angeleno Michael T. Regan via his Bucket of Ashes blog:

It's official, Tom Waits has chosen five of my photographs to appear on the live album he's releasing this fall. Tom Waits: Glitter & Doom Live is a collection of songs taken from his recent tour through the US and Europe. ANTI- records has informed me that one of the images will run as a full 12" panel on the inside of the gate fold LP jacket.

Knowing Regan like I do — the guy is a passionate Tom Waits fan and a collector of Waits vinyl — it's hard to be any happier for him. As he says in his blog: "This is an innocent dream. Tom Waits has had a huge effect on my creative development .… As a collector of his vinyl LP's, being included in the history of creative album photography from 1971 - the present is a tremendous honor."

The shots are from a photo essay Regan did for Phawker from a show in Columbus, Ohio.

This is just really awesome news. Congrats, Mike.
